In Sweden they build zero-energy houses that don't need heating other than the body heat of the people living in those houses. This is no joke. The houses are so well insulated and have big windows facing south to use suns energy that no external heating source is required.

Yeah and british homes are really crappy with single windows and such. No wonder people use electrically heated blankets, which I find hilarious.

That's what you think. A couple of years ago, they just finished building an area of those house type outside glumslov(about ten kilometers from where I live) and It's a hell for those who lives there. Last winter, who was extreme, they froze their pants of. And last summer who was hot as this they where living in a sauna.

I tell you that those houses have a huge turnover.

And one more thing but not less important. The air inside the house/department is circulation, so when a person with a bad stomach has been on the toilet you can.....puhh

That's already happening/happened in the U.S. Natural gas went up one third last year. Electric went up something like 23% in my state and it's supposed to be going up again. When one raises they all raise.
